Gather ‘round, kids, and let’s talk about the olden days of Formula One: Back before 2014, the sport used to use these big, loud V8 engines. Before that, it used even bigger and louder V10s and V12s. Then, in the tragic year of 2014, the turbo hybrid V6 engines came along. They were not very loud, and they still…

A Jalopnikreader sent me a gift so excellent, I nearly cried upon opening the envelope. It’s a 1925 stock certificate for 10 shares of Willys-Overland, the Toledo-based auto company that built the very first Jeeps—vehicles which, as you know, I love dearly.

The email came in on our tips line with the subject “Because Jalopnik likes the wonderful & weird.” And you know what? I opened it up and found that it was absolutely true. This Chevy Malibu is both wonderful and weird!

The ZL1 1LE-based Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R race car and its kitchen island of a wing looks and sounds terrifyingly great. It’s a championship-running race car with an exhaust note as loud as, but far more pleasant than, your home security system. And you, wealthy member of the public, can have one all for yourself.

James Dyson, the British inventor who gave us the bagless vacuum cleaner, has had his eye on building an electric car for awhile. Last year, his company’s intentions were accidentally made public in a government report. Today, Dyson himself made it official in an announcement. Apparently, the company’s been secretly…

The most interesting car Honda currently makes isn’t the reborn NSX, or the Civic Type R, and it’s definitely not one of its hybrid hatchbacks or crossovers. It’s the Honda S660, a mid-engined baby roadster with a peppy engine in the middle, rear-wheel drive and a removable roof. And you can’t own one.

On Friday, video emerged of an orange Mustang slamming into cars and trying to run over pedestrians outside of a school in Las Vegas. The driver, Clay Green, later told police that he’d rammed the vehicle because someone had thrown rocks at his “show car.” Green, who was charged with two counts of attempted murder,…

Polestar, Volvo’s official performance arm, announced back in June that it would offer Polestar-branded cars without a Volvo logo, as well as begin to develop performance electric cars, à la Tesla. Yesterday, the company took to its Instagram account to announce the end of... something. Perhaps Polestar-tuned Volvo…

We’re big fans of telling you to autocross everything, but that same piece of (good!) advice should apply to autocross’s dirtier, more laid-back cousin: rallycross. Rallycross absolutely everything. Especially if it’s classic metal.

They say young people don’t care about cars anymore. They say the culture is dying. They say human driving doesn’t even have a future. You, the Jalopnik community of readers, know that isn’t true. You also know the last place to look for modern car culture is the vast wasteland that is television. But we think we can…

Each day, our Sun pours its energy down onto the Earth’s surface, turning vast expanses of open water into vapor. New research shows the surprising degree to which this clean and renewable process could be used to produce electricity—enough, perhaps, to meet 70 percent of US energy needs. But before this energy…

SHREVEPORT, La.—When Mark Jones took over the Chevron gas station he owns heremore than three decades ago, it was in a sleepy and undeveloped part of town. Quickly, though, things changed. A nearby General Motors truck assembly plant opened in 1982 and gave way to a crush of development. Neighborhoods sprouted to…

All cars have to adhere to regulations and be structurally sound, safe and meet a whole host of other checklist items that I can’t even begin to imagine. Then car designers have to take all of those rules, apply them to a car and then also somehow figure out how to make the car pretty. It doesn’t sound easy.

A Tesla Model X owner put the company on blast by claiming the car’s door opened automatically before being ripped off by an oncoming truck, an incident captured clearly on tape by a security camera. But Tesla says its own data indicates that it was clearly user error, and while the incident is unfortunate, it’s a…
